The Blinding Light

In my youth the ghost stepped through me, and life was never quite the same
 A new dark truth, a cursed recluse, left choking on the bitter shame
 I force it down, down, down to the bottom of my soul but I still can't hide
 Superstition takes control and leaves me numb and paralyzed
 And now I realize....
 Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning
 Lures me in and then devours me
 This ghost erodes what i once called my life
 Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light
 Hexed and blind in the dusk of life, the shadows stretching over me
 The mirror stares back, eyes stained black, the sun my mortal enemy
 Screaming "why, why, why" the ghost she never seems to say
 Paranoia burned my soul and now there's nothing left to take
 There's nothing left to take
 Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning

 Lures me in and then devours me

 This ghost erodes what i once called my life
 Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light
 Burn me alive in the blinding light
